Musician Prince Nelson is born in Minneapolis. He is perhaps best known for the album and movie Purple Rain. Nelson first took "Prince" as his stage name but for a time used an unpronounceable symbol, leading people to refer to him as "the artist formerly known as Prince."
Made possible by the Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund through the vote of Minnesotans on November 4, 2008. Administered by the Minnesota Historical Society.
